Epi4Ab: a data-driven prediction model of conformational epitopes for specific antibody VH/VL families and CDRs sequences.
Antibodies recognize antigens via complementary and structurally dependent mechanisms. Therefore, inclusion of antibody inputs is crucial for accurate epitope prediction. Given the limited availability of antibody-antigen complex structures, any epitope prediction model will require minimal yet sufficient antibody inputs to ensure precise epitope identification. To address this need, we introduce Epi4Ab, an antibody-specific epitope prediction model that focuses on identifying unique in-contact antigen residues for a given antibody. Epi4Ab requires minimal antibody inputs, specifically VH/VL families and complementarity-determining region sequences.
期刊介绍:
mAbs is a multi-disciplinary journal dedicated to the art and science of antibody research and development. The journal has a strong scientific and medical focus, but also strives to serve a broader readership. The articles are thus of interest to scientists, clinical researchers, and physicians, as well as the wider mAb community, including our readers involved in technology transfer, legal issues, investment, strategic planning and the regulation of therapeutics.
